I'm being dragged along on a mystery tour to Northumberland, it was supposed to be just the parents but my sister had the day off and pestered me to go as well.
My parents are very old fashioned so i have to watch what i wear, they even comment on my make up and ear rings. they disaprove of my hubby so i have to be careful what i say as well.
I went with them last year to Rothbury along with my sister and we didn't get to go the coffee shops.(they had a flask)
Seriously i might convince them it is nice to have a treat and hopefully it will go ok.

Hehehe guess you won't be going clubbing with them then?

John's parents always take flasks along everywhere too, even if they are just going to the supermarket! If John and I are going anywhere with them, I get my own flask because I am the only one who has milk in their tea They carry enough food with them to survive a nuclear disaster as well. I'm not sure how they are going to survive being on holiday for 3 months and having to buy food in cafes etc as they go

the shock would kill them me in a club :scared:
My mum has asked me to bring my picnic hamper, i need to check if she wants food in it LOL
i reckon my parents and John,s would get on very well
Are his parents travelling to the UK?
Mandy

They are in Hawaii currently, then onto Canada, an Alaska cruise, travelling around Alaska, back to Canada then travelling around USA, Washington State then down to Utah, Arizona, Nevada then back to Hawaii and home to Australia. They have been too scared to travel since 2001 so this trip took us by surprise when it was announced last year

WOW that sounds like a fantastic trip, both my parents and in laws have had the SAGA books with cruises on them and i know both would enjoy a trip like that. Ive always fancied a trip to Hawaii my self i think the tv prog Hawaii 5 o had a lot to do with it
My parents didn't even manage to visit me in Germany when we lived there said it was too far. My in laws would love an exotic trip like that.I guess they will have to keep doing the lottery

John and I were thinking of taking a trip to Hawaii this year as we can fly on our frequent flyer points saving some money! With the house and cars and 2 trips I'm taking overseas already this year (oops ) we have put it off. Probably won't get around to it until 2008 now but nevermind it is something to look forwards to hehehehe

how long is the flight to Hawaii from oz?
Mandy

I believe it is about 9 and a half hours so not too bad

that is fairly close then. i can imagine me going for hols there sipping cocktails while a male in a grass skirt plays a little guitar Hee hee
Eh well i must get some house work done.
Have a nice evening / night and speak to you soon
